CEM has introduced its range of microwave peptide synthesis technology designed to alter the paradigm of peptide synthesis from early discovery through pre-clinical studies.
The Liberty Blue technology allows for 4-minute cycle times and a 90% reduction in solvent usage compared to existing methods for making peptides.
The technology represents advances in hardware design, as well as improvements to the chemistry, resulting in greater speed and flexibility, better peptide purities and yields, and improved reliability, according to CEM.
“Cycle times are 10 times faster than current microwave synthesisers, allowing chemists to make a normal peptide in less than an hour,” said president of CEM, Michael J. Collins.
The systems’ Flex-Add technology provides infinite volume delivery with a high degree of accuracy and precision, allowing the Liberty Blue line coverage of a wide scale range from 0.025 to 5 mmol.
Designed for maximum speed, efficiency, and ease-of-use, the Liberty Blue line of microwave peptide synthesisers consists of manual, automated, and high-throughput systems, while the Liberty XL is an automated mid-scale system.
The systems feature CEM’s patented technology for using microwave energy for both the coupling and de-protection steps of the synthesis, ensuring higher purities and faster yields.
